Great summary Frank. Really enjoyed the 2 days and like yourself, glad I lasted till the end. First game I had, I made the rookie mistake of winning and got drawn in round 2 against another winner (Mark Goddard) and was well beaten. My first game against Craig Melville had us both defending and with his Old Minefields card had us dodging around 13 minefields in total. Then in games 4 and 5 it was just raining artillery on my poor troops with 4 pieces from your list and 6 from Lucas’s. Ouch. Great first go at a tournament and can’t wait till next year. Thanks to all for organising and the games.
Great report Frank and thank you for asking me to judge the painting competition… a tough job but enjoyed it immensely … hopefully this propels the event to carry on and get stronger in future years 😉👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the experience Brian. And two wins is a great result.
long journey but worth it 5 very good games, with reasonable results. Will hopefully get a rematch at the UK nationals.
It was great meeting you and Shirley. Looking forward to a rematch too. I think you are a tough challenge to better on the tabletop Rex.

It was great seeing you again Johnnie. Thanks for judging, you did a great job. Looking forward to next year's event already.
Very nice re-cap. Seems as if the event was a success!!!!
We are already looking forward to next year! UK Nats first, though.
